KI-Media Note: Chut Wutty received a threat from the deputy governor of Kampong Thom in March. Read the Phnom Penh Post article here.
A report has indicated that Chut Wutty, the director of the Natural Resource Protection Group, was shot and killed by an assailant in Thmor Bang district, Koh Kong province at noon time this Thursday. Chut Wutty and 2 reporters from the Cambodia Daily were investigating illegal logging in the Thmor Bang district.

Am Sam Ath, an official for the Licadho human rights organization, indicated that he aslo received the news about the murder of Chut Wutty and that he is currently looking for more information about this case.

A anonymous employee of the Cambodia Daily indicated that 2 reporters from the Cambodia Daily traveled to Thmor Bang with Chut Wutty: a foreign woman and a Cambodian reporter by the name of Bopha. The anonymous employee of the Cambodia Daily indicated that, currently, the two reporters are being kidnapped.

Nevertheless, Kevin Dole, the editor-in-chief of the Cambodia Daily told VOD that he also traveled to Thmor Bang district with Chut Wutty also, but he did not know about this murder case. At about 3PM, Kevin Dole claimed that he is in Thmor Bang district, but he is not with Chut Wutty.

It is the Wild Wild West, there is no justice.
The rich and powerful are the law.
The poor and weak are the outlaw.
It is a Banana kingdom.

Disagree. The dumb and uneducated are the law. But the educated and the opposition are the outlaw.

We lost another prominent Activist, our Khmer Hero, Mr. Chut Wutty. We are so angry with CPP regime under stupid and dumb Hun Sen, a Vietnamese dog.

Please UN put pressure on Hanoi masters seriously because the monsters/masters in Hanoi, Communist Vietnam, protected and made Hun Sen and CPP thieves (Vietnamese) have power to scare and kill Cambodian/Khmer Prominent Activists and innocent Khmer people who are the owners of Khmer/Cambodian land and forest.

Yes, Vietnamese leaders and followers in Hanoi, Communist Vietnam are the sources to the corrupted CPP regime and Vietnamese dog, dumb and stupid Hun Sen.

Again and again, the problems were created originally from Vietnamese bosses/monsters in Hanoi who protected and provide the power to CPP Vietnamese dog Hun Sen and his illegal Vietnamese officials in CPP party. Both CPP and Vietnamese clans are the real problems in Cambodia and have no respects to Peace Accord Agreement 1991 in Paris.

If the US, EU, International Communities and UN put pressure on Vietnamese leaders/bosses in Hanoi, then Hun Sen will have and CPP have no power and they will not be able to kill Khmer people again. Those criminals of CPP will be arrested.
